Söder softer on financing left-led Berlin than party line

Original: Eine von der # Linken regierte Hauptstadt will die # Union nicht mitfinanzieren. Bei der # noafd in # Sachsen_Anhalt war

CSU leader Markus Söder is being accused of double standards over the federal fiscal equalisation system. Critics point out that while Union politicians rail against financing states governed by the Left party, Söder was notably less rigorous on this at a noafd event in Saxony-Anhalt. A Taz article argues the Union uses the Länderfinanzausgleich as a 'wonder weapon' against left-wing politics, and the debate is drawing attention to Germany's capital Berlin, led by the Left, refusing to co-finance the Union's demands.

Why now: A Taz article accusing the CSU leader of double standards on the Länderfinanzausgleich is circulating widely on social media.
